the senate voted to prevent tax hikes and 98% of americans. and made the lower tax hikes permanent. that is something we could not achieve when george bush was in office. president obama got less revenue than the speaker offered in the first place. in short, there is no way we were going to get a better deal for the american tax payer. that is not to hide the fact that this bill was far from perfect. we wanted to keep tax hikes low for everybody. we wanted to cut spending. but this bill had to pass. otherwise every single taxpayer would have paid higher taxes and our economy would have gotten into a nosedive. once i came to that conclusion, the decision was simple. if you think a bill needs to pass, you vote for it. now, many of my colleagues voted the other way. i respect their decision. prudence demands mutual understanding, especially among friends. my colleagues and i saw the same thing. we sought to the same and. -- we sought the same end. we wanted a smaller, smarter government. we simply differed on the means. that is the difficulty of governing. it should not be a cause for

whether it is taxed did, taxes and regulation. let me give a perfect example. one of the best slogans that came out of this last campaign was "you built that." and it was in response to barack obama's terrible but revealing comment, "you didn't built about -- build that, you didn't build that small business. "that was one of the best moments of the last campaign. but i wish we'd taken a different tack on it because that was a slogan that was aimed at the 53%. it was aimed at business owners, at people who had already gotten there. i think our message should have been "you can build that." because what barack obama was saying to everyone struggling to climb the economic ladder is you can't build that. listen, i don't really care who built the corporate titans and giants of today. one of the biggest lies of politics is the lie that republicans are the party of big business. big business loves big government. big business is very, very happy to get in bed with big government to hire an army of lobbyists and tax attorneys and to entrench their power. we should be t

[applause] >> i will give you a grand total of a minute on this final one. would you like to see a world power become eminent or would like to come home and switch republican if we could have that? >> somewhere in between is the truth of it. since world war ii we have been the preeminent voice for freedom, peace on the globe. that we must remain. we must remain unapologetically a voice for freedom and peace. when you thin

tax will go down. and our overall tax burden is down. the unemployment rate in our state is now at just over 6.5%. that is not done because i created more jobs. it is because we created an environment in which it was more advantageous, particularly for small business leaders, to make investments to lead to more jobs. that is the third truth out of that brown bag common sense. i think most people understand that. the best way to create jobs is to empower the people, particularly small businesses, to be in a position to do that. those are the things that are relevant to where people are at. those same pundits who say we should change our principles talk about certain voting blocks and segments out there. i think the message we talked about, as long as we talk about it in terms of relevance -- in terms that are relevant, as long as we go out to those places where those voters are at, i think that is one mistake that many republicans have made. we sit in places that are comfortable rather than going to com
